7	7	If a framework contains images, accessed from your main application, you must remember to change the framework binding in some of your WOComponents. The failure to do so will become evident in development. The default is "app", but you must change it to the name of your framework. When it comes time to deploy, you application frameworks must be included on the deployment machine. Images do not seem to display properly if you only put your frameworks in this location: /Library/Frameworks. You'll also want to put your webserver resources from your framework in the /WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/Frameworks folder. I just included the whole .framework folder in that directory and the images were served from the webserver properly. All the above paths are for MacOS X.

38	38	HTH the next intrepid developer. BTW, the Xcode documentation for this is only tangentially useful to a WO developer. The panels described don't actually exist when you're doing a WO framework. The information described in terms of the necessary entries helps, though.
